Group 6 - Personification
Michael, Daniel, Blair, Doug Explanation of Personification
The definitions of personification are:
1.
the attribution of a personal nature or character to inanimate objects or abstract notions, esp. as a rhetorical figure.
2.
the representation of a thing or abstraction in the form of a person, as in art.
3.
the person or thing embodying a quality or the like; an embodiment or incarnation: He is the personification of tact.
4.
an imaginary person or creature conceived or figured to represent a thing or abstraction.
5.
the act of personifying.
6.
a character portrayal or representation in a dramatic or literary work.
I think that personification means that it’s a translation from statue to a human or something becoming a human. For example, something that isn’t alive becomes a human. The definition of personification is the representation of a thing or abstraction becoming into the form of a person as in art.
Personification Examples;
Example 1;
"Ah, William, we're weary of weather,"
said the sunflowers, shining with dew.
"Our traveling habits have tired us.
Can you give us a room with a view?"
Example 2;
I like to see it lap the miles, And lick the valleys up,
And stop to feed itself at tanks;
And then, prodigious, step
Example 3;Hey diddle, Diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
Example 4;
Snow speaks to the people its
falling above in the glooming
sunlight.
Its white sparkling voice
echoes
as it falls through
the air.
Example 5;
Stars, bring me up with you Bring me to the place
you sleep.
How do you do it?
Bring me to your home.
Bring your thoughts
to me.
Share them
with me
Example 6;
Velvet remembers
how it wrapped around
me.
Keeping me warm
on a snowy
day.
Velvet remembers
how it laid softly
on my bed.
Velvet tells me not
to forget
